They need to give you more Iso or charge less per battle / research holy crap even if all you do is get Iso as your gifts for the day it is gone so fast with 10-20 per deploy or battle (20 for bosses / mini bosses).

My strategy right now is to first power level my character through PvE since the recommended level for Spec Ops are quite high (when the Spec Ops started my lvl was still 22... far from the recommended of 28-45)... right now I'm lvl 45 and still power lvl'ing to increase my chance of winning the battles in SpecOps while collecting ISOs, dont want to waste my unstable ISOs :O

Also, I finished 15/25 task so far, so I think my pace is good enough to get Emma Frost.. my current worries is the Epic Boss task... since I dont have any of the 3 required heroes for the deployment... *looks at his command points counter showing at... FIVE*... *_*;

I guess when my lvl are high enough, I should go back and storm all earlier chapters for 5-stars eh? :O

yes. since mystique is the epic boss in spec ops 2 chapter 3 (final chapter subjected), you need to have 3 characters in your team including colossus, scarlet witch, and phoenix to do the deploy in order to unlock mystique.

hi! i need help! im on the 23 task and i need to get phoenix and scarlet witch, any ideas? :( i only have 22 gold and 1cp, i was thinking to get 25 gold and change it for 50 cp to buy phoenix... i really want emma *sigh* she is perfect!

Hi, great work whit the guide ;)I did some of the tasks in regular missions, not in the spec ops, that is a good way to save ISO.And I have a question, Can I defeat Mystique before getting the three stars in every mission? It still count?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my stinky english :PGreetings from Argentina :D

Don't rush, my strategy is to build up my character lvl as fast as I can by taking missions recommended for my lvl or above, I'm on task 24 atm with only the spec ops mission 3 left for the 3 stars and taking my time collecting unstable ISOs while lvl'ing up again

If I, who started the specops on char lvl 28 can get this far (lvl 59 now), I'm sure everyone else can :)

and Ivan- u have to do the Tasks IN ORDER..... if you do one before another- it may not count... SOME DO work out of order (like if u get 3 stars in each mission BEFORE that atsk comes up- when that task comes it- it WILL count it...) so SOME are okay to do out of order, but mostly u have to finish one before and go on to the next, in order.....

omg, i didn't know that the deploys are needed to reveal Mystique :( i only have Collossus and zero CP , i cannot recruit Scarlet and Phoenix in 9 days!!! Where do i find CP quickly? :/ i 'm very dissapointed ..

can some 1 plz help me (Q. what will happen to ppl who cheat and have been caught how will they pass/do spec ops 21 Danger Room: Complete 3 PVP battles wen they have been banded from and dont hav no gold . sos help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bit of crucial info, the battle with EB Mystique is 3 stages, you only need to defeat her in one of the stages and even if you fail the whole EB battle, you'll still get her. I defeated mystique 1st and 2nd stage and then my team got defeated before 3rd stage starts, and the quest still register as completed!!!
